Head coach Bret Bielema announced three injuries for the Arkansas Razorback football team after their scrimmage Saturday evening. Senior wide receiver Demetrius Wilson will miss the entire 2013 season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

Sophomore linebacker Otha Peters will sit out approximately 6-8 weeks with a broken arm, and senior tight end Austin Tate will miss approximately six weeks with a shoulder injury.

Bielema says Wilson, who was listed as a first-team receiver following the spring, will redshirt and return next season. Peters, who had 32 tackles last season as a freshman, could return by the time Arkansas opens Southeastern Conference against Texas A&M on Sept. 28.

"[It's] a blessing that we get to bring him back," Bielema said. "Those other guys, we'll get them back eventually, so it's not a season-ending injury."

Wilson was expected to be one of the Razorbacks' leading receivers this season. He played in all 12 games last season for Arkansas, catching nine passes for 117 yards and one touchdown.

A native of Glendale, Ariz., Wilson transferred to Arkansas from Glendale Community College, where he was a two-time first-team All-ACCAC selection.

Tate had 14 catches for 164 yards last season and was listed as the Razorbacks second-team tight end after the spring.

Bielema chose to look at the positive end of the injury situation, as it could open up chances for other players on the roster to earn playing time.

"I think we've established a lot better depth than I ever have could imagined at the beginning of fall camp just because of some of our injury situations," Bielema said. "We didn't have a lot of significant injuries or season-ending, but a lot of guys that might miss some time here and there and it built depth."

Arkansas opens the regular season against Louisiana-Lafayette on August 31 at Razorback Stadium.
